I Was planning a 9900k build but just learned of the 3950x. It looks incredibly strong for SC so I'm thinking of doing an AMD x570 PCIe Gen4 build in September instead. And compared to the 9900k, look at that cache, wow. Probably paired with a 2080ti (OC vs Super?) this thing is going to be a monster dream build. Is there any reason to go with the 9900k now and not the 3950x in September? 3950x @ 3.5Ghz - 4.7Ghz, 16 cores, 32 threads, 72 MB Cache $749 vs 9900k @ 3.6Ghz - 5Ghz, 8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB Cache $484
